At next year's review meeting of the UN's Joint Convention, a DD employee will be at the critical end of the table. Health Physicist Haraldur Hannesson has been appointed to the panel, which will participate in evaluating, among others, the United States' management of radioactive waste.
In May 2014, Danish Decommissioning carried out a major operation, successfully lifting a highly radioactive metal plug from Denmark's largest research reactor.
One of Danish Decommissioning's health physicists contributes with experience in decommissioning reactor DR2.
On the upcoming three Thursdays in July, you can take a guided tour of the Risø area and gain an impression of the former research center. The tours will be conducted regardless of weather conditions on the following dates: July 3rd, July 10th, and July 17th. Registration is required.
In May 2014, Danish Decommissioning carried out a major operation: lifting the 22-ton heavy metal plug from Denmark's largest research reactor DR3. The actual lifting of the plug took one hour, and the operation can be viewed in timelapse here.
Attend the Open House at Danish Decommissioning and learn about our unique environmental mission at Risø: Friday, June 13, 3 PM-6 PM.
Success: The massive metal plug that sealed Denmark's largest research reactor DR3 has been successfully removed and replaced with a lid. Due to intense radiation from the reactor tank, this historic operation has been meticulously planned over recent years. DD commends the collaboration with Mammoet and Bladt Industries.
DD has achieved substantial progress in the decontamination and release of the facility where Risø manufactured fuel for the research reactors. We invite you to explore the building and learn about the intricate process of removing radioactive contamination from its floors, walls, and drainage systems.
They have raised the nuclear submarine Kursk from the bottom of the Arctic Ocean and uprighted a toppled 80-ton crane at the Lindø shipyard after the 1999 hurricane. Now, the Dutch company Mammoet, with its powerful cranes, is tasked with extracting a massive metal plug from Risø's largest research reactor.
The annual report contains an account of DD's activities in 2013 and reports on the results achieved in relation to the performance contract.
